Hi
My and my friend are thinking of setting an open radio station. Only
choice I have is linux (that is all I use). I am trying to find something
that will do live encoding for me. All the content on the station will be
non-copyrighted and royalty free and I want the software used to be that
too.
Please tell me what my options are, for live encoding, I will probably use
ogg, since mp3 is not royalty free.
Also is there any hardware that would do this encoding for me. If not, and
the software is available. I might turn it into a dedicated blackbox for
live encoding.
Thanks

Nice idea!
The icecast stuff is good - simple to set up and solid (well to be honest, i haven't
tried it under load - i just used it to play mp3's on computers on a LAN in my house.
but i left it running for days randomly picking mp3s with no hitches)
http://www.icecast.org/
then, specifically for live encoding:
http://www.icecast.org/thirdparty.html
DarwinSteamingServer from apple does mp3s as well. You can get the source, but i don't
know if its fully 'free' if you know what i mean.
cheers

yes, thats a great idea - yeah icecast would have been my reccomendation
too....
please do keep us informed of how things turn out - i would be
particularly interested as i'm planning, together with Jack Woehr and
others, to start a Free Music foundation along similiar lines to the
FSF, but promoting copyleft licensing in music... there are many people
working on Open and Free licenses for music, but so far no umbrella
organisation to keep everyone in touch - my feeling, as i work on my
book 'copyleft: creativity, technology and freedom' (see
www.copyleftmedia.org.uk) is that we need a whole new Free
infrastructure if we are going to succeed in our goal - not just
composers releasing Free music but webcasters, producers, record
companies.... and of course software developers :)
good luck!

This is an interesting concept. But after thinking about it for a few
days I wonder how easy it would be to get the numerous organisations
that represent open multimedia to get on board? It seems that it is a
ver difficult task to get them all motivated. I would guess there would
be more liklihood of getting one of the larger organisations to take on
the role and use their leverage to get others involved.
In other words I think there may more more chance to get it done from
the inside than starting YAOMF (Yet another open music foundation).
What are your ideas on this?

well,
a) the idea is for an umbrella organisation, to embrace *all* the Free
and Open multimedia movements...
b) im working with GNU at the moment... my book is published by them....
Jack, who originally proposed the idea, was given my address by RMS..

I would really like to see an organisation that represents Linux Audio
and what you are proposing could be the correct way to do it. I'm not
suggesting that this organisation would represent Linux Audio solely but
that it could help us a lot.
Do you have anythign written up specifically on this? I couldn't find it
after browsing your site.

so far i havent got any further with implementing the idea - partly
because Jack is very busy with his own work, and partly because i have
to focus on getting my book written (to be published by GNU Press next
year)... once i am in a better position to put some time into this idea
i will approach GNU/FSF and ask them if they can support us... but for
now it remains in the planning stages...

I have used ffserver to stream video but it can also stream audio-only.
Not sure about ogg but if not in already shouldn't be difficult to add.
